<p>Some of SPI's mailing lists (at least spi-general and
spi-private) impose a priori moderation in certain circumstances.
A mail sent to "Too many recipients" can trigger such moderation
queues. The forwarded message is an example of a message which was
directed to such a queue. That message's content shows 4 more
messages which presumably suffered the same fate.<br>
</p>
<div class="moz-forward-container">It appears that no matter how one
subscribed, these mails will not be relayed until they have been
approved. And unfortunately, unless I am missing something, there
is also no way to access mails in queues via the web interfaces.
Unfortunately, this has an important impact on communication
efficiency, as processing delays visibly exceed 1 month in certain
cases (the forwarded message is still queued as I write these
lines).</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">While a proper solution should be
implemented, increasing the criteria to trigger a priori
moderation and/or adding moderation manpower would mitigate. I
volunteer to help with the latter for spi-general.<br>

I'm worried that <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:board@spi-inc.org" moz-do-not-send="true">board@spi-inc.org</a> doesn't work since it's (IIRC) also

<p>Thank you very much Michael. Thanks also to Martin Michlmayr,
and to Robert Brockway for acknowledging reception of my report.</p>
<p>Although it is clear that Michael's actions have helped, I am
unfortunately under the impression that this issue is not fully
fixed yet. From the replies which reached me, I can't explain
why the following still don't show on spi-general's archives:</p>
